Meadowlark speakers


I'm looking for a good value in a low priced floorstander. I've seen excellent reviews of the whole Meadowlark line, which has recently gone out of production. I'm thinking of the Kestrel Hotrod or Kestrel 2. Anyone have an opinion regarding which model is best?

On this site there are several that have been available for sale for quite a while. Is there something wrong with Meadowlarks that they have gone out of production and that the models listed on Audiogon are'nt selling?

On a more obscure note, I read that the port in transmission line speakers is not responsible for much bass output. Does that mean that the rear ported Kestrel can be placed closer to the rear wall than other ported models?

Thanks for the help,
Peter Ennis

I have experience only with the original Kestrel but compared to other speakers I've owned or listened to in that price range I can recommend them very highly. They seem to do well with every kind of music and not be that critical about placement. At the prices they're now going for they are a real bargain.
